The total approximate value of this months box is $13.79. Needless to say I'm not happy with the value of this box. I could just kick myself for not canceling before it auto-renewed! The good news is I will use most of the items in this box. I am super curious about the black bean spaghetti. It's high in protein and fiber which is great. I hope it tastes good.
